The big thing missing here is magnitude. My sports car produces the same
amount of peak power that 37,000 ft^2 of solar panels could produce at the
equator at noon on a cloudless day. That would be about 3/4 of a football
field of solar panels. At $100 per ft ^2 it would cost 3.7 million dollars
for a system that only lasts 17 years if they avoid hail. But it gets
better, the farther you are from the equator the less energy is available
and they produce no energy at night. The only viable replacement for fossil
fuel is magnitudes higher energy on the Weak Nuclear Force level. I would
suggest Thorium in the LFTR configuration. Remember coal , oil and natural
gas is stored solar energy. Live solar power will NEVER replace fossil
fuels. ﻿

Hey Pete
I have been watching and got the feeling you need a Phd in engineering
and electrical.. Looking at those panels of yours makes me think that I
need to go back to school or atleast a crash course.. And what about
inexpensive .. I have plans for a power generator that require no gas or
external energy.. Interseted?? You have to build it.. B
